Latte making,

I'm so glad you stopped by my little corner of the world! I'm Michaela Elyse Schoenthaler and I'm a midwest girl born and raised. I am type A enough to love organization and a perfectly crafted timeline BUT type B enough to love spontaneity and rolling with the punches! I started dipping my toes in the wedding industry in 2010 and I fell in love with building a trusting relationship with brides. Flash forward to 2026 and I still have so much joy serving couples during one of the most monumental moments of their lives. I'd love to add you to my list of sweet friends and be your number one advocate as I execute your vision while you experience it!
Hi, friends.
the "why" behind it
My goal as your planner is to ensure you are fully present and peaceful. This applies not only to your wedding day, but the entire engagement season. I'd love to come alongside you as we make your Pinterest board come to life. I believe marriage is a gift and reflection of our great God and Christ's love for His people. I feel so honored to stand behind you as you begin your marriage before the Lord, your family, and friends. I'd love to chat over coffee (and a yummy baked good) and see how I can turn this season from OVERWHELMING to OVERWHELMINGLY JOYFUL!

Michaela was an integral part of our wedding day! I wanted a simple and peaceful wedding day, but all the details of wedding planning were starting to get to me and taking away from the simple wedding we were dreaming of. When Michaela stepped in a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders! She was AMAZING. From bringing coffee the morning of to making beautiful printed timelines for all the bridal party and family- she does not skip any details.

I was the Maid of Honor in a wedding Michaela planned and coordinated. You always hear people say "they made the stress of the day fade away" but with Michaela, no one ever knew there was stress to begin with. She took everything and executed it perfectly. Everyone got to enjoy the day and be PRESENT in the moment, all thanks to Michaela. She's the best in the business. I can honestly say you WILL regret it if you don't book with her.

Michaela made my wedding day completely stress free! Not only did she do everything the day of, she also helped keep everything in order leading up to the wedding as well. It felt like everything fell into place perfectly and I am so happy with how everything turned out! Michaela also made our garland for the alter and the backdrop for the reception using faux florals, and let me tell you, it was the most beautiful thing in the world! The whole day was a dream come true.

Our girl, Michaela, ROCKED the wedding coordinating for us! Her servant heart was so evident in the way she took control of everything so Brant and I (and our families) wouldn't have to stress on the day of. Her love and joy for the Lord was such a sweet thing to experience during this season and she brought SO MUCH PEACE.

Michaela took the stress off the bride, family, and bridal party by confidently directing each process of the day. She was present and aware of all the details, and never once became overwhelmed by all the moving parts. Her communication is effective and she manages all the people and things while completely full of contagious joy! It makes the day so fun!
